Cystitis is lame. 3 Litres of water a day? Argh! Having to pee after a glassfull sucks. Having to go constantly every 15 bloody minutes is practically intolerable - especially when it takes a good five minutes to get comfortable again.

Bastard urinary tract infection. That is all.

I also offer sympathy. And ....

This song. Which made me smile today.

That sounds incredibly unpleasant.

Since there is absolutely nothing useful I can say, I shall throw sympathy shurikens at you.

Ow, shuriken in the EYE!

Hope you feel better soon, Tea.

A few helpful things I found out about cystitis from the internet, should anyone be worried:

"... There can be several reasons for the bacteria settling in the bladder. Inadequate emptying resulting in stagnation of urine may lead to infection. This may be caused by some drugs (for example, antidepressants), immobility, abnormal bladder control and constipation."

"Particularly common among females, as they have a shorter urethra than males and it is situated relatively close to their anus... Women... must dry themselves from front to back, towards the anus - not the other way around - to avoid leading bacteria from their intestine into their urethra."

"Cystitis in women [is] related to increased frequency of sexual activity."

Cystitis is fucking annoying. There may be no words for how annoying. Know when it's especially annoying? At Maelstrom! Goddamn cystitis!
Really hope you feel better soon. *sympathy*

Cystitis at Maelstrom? Argh! The horror!

Having said that, I suppose it would fit in nicely with the normal "materialise-die-walk-to-god" routine, and hence wouldn't be quite so catastrophic as first imagined. Still. Nasty.

Seeing significant improvement already. Cranberry juice and Cefalexin seem to be doing the trick!

...Until they try the "Single you until it's unfunny" routine...

Admitidly "Do that again and I'll piss on you" could be a useful escape cord.

I very much feel for you. I have a chronic bladder condition, which leads to my having about 8 or 9 infections of this kind per year. They inevitably strike at larp events on account of the dehydration...
Try Ibuprofen for the pain when you pee. It should help by reducing the inflammation. Try taking a hot water bottle to bed with you, I tend to find the heat lets you get comfortable more quickly, and actually lets you sleep for a while before you have to get up to go to the loo again.
Get lots of hugs and put a really good book in the bathroom so that you can stay cheerful until you are better again. Much sympathy!
